it is because the NICs are on the same host. IP address from eth1 will
still be accessible via eth0. interfaces (eth0/1) have and configured
to have routes going to 172.16.17.0/24.

you can confirm this by: ip route sh|grep '172.16.17.0/24'

eth0 and eth1 are both your gateway for network 172.16.17.0/24. i
think even if you remove src route of eth1, it doesn matter, as long
as the other interface is fucntional.
